Paraguay: Civic activists plan to march in Asuncion from 18:30 Feb. 22
Paraguayan civic activists to march from Plaza de Armas to Plaza Uruguaya in Asuncion from 18:30 Feb. 22. Disruptions likely.
Civic activists affiliated with Youth for Democracy (Jovenes por la Democracia) plan to march in central Asuncion from 18:30 Feb. 22. Participants aim to gather at Plaza de Armas before marching to Plaza Uruguaya for a rally. Participants are protesting the expulsion of Senator Kattya Gonzalez from Congress, which organizers perceive as an attack on the rule of law.
Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely at the protest start point, endpoint, and along the march route. Isolated scuffles between police and protesters cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time to reach your destination if operating near Plaza de Armas before and Plaza Uruguaya on the evening of Feb. 22.
